Educational Post 1: A Dilemma

 

Do you know whom to believe in? How can we be sure if they tell the truth but the whole truth? Imagine that you go to a park and see a child swinging.​ When you approach him, he tells you to never trust old men. You find it peculiar and sit on a bench next to an old man. The man tells you children always tell the truth.​ Now you remember what the child has told you:  "never trust old men". But this man says to trust in children. If you believe the child's words, you must not trust the old man. But if you do, then you should not trust the child at all. Who is telling the truth?​ Basically this is called "Liar Paradox". You can find further information on here.
